Hi all
I'd just like to back up Dougs comments really. Have been using
squid for about a year on some heavy traffic sites as an
accelerator which has been a great performance booster. We have a
load balanced cluster of squids that have peaked at about 5.5k
requests per second, and will probably do more. There's no way the
backend web servers would have coped with that so squid has been a
big plus for us. Thanks to all.
The discussion on whether to release a 2.6 has interested me
recently, as a squid2.5+rproxy+customlog+collapsed_forwarding would
really be useful to me.
The current rproxy patch patches against STABLE12, whilst the
customlog and collapsed_fowarding patches patch against STABLE13.
Would it be possible for the rproxy patch to be updated to patch
against STABLE13?
I can offer a heavily used accelerator environment for testing
squid3/patches etc.
One small change we've made in our environment is to allow the
specification of the minimum explicit expiry time in seconds rather
than minutes as we have some objects that are hit multiple times a
second but are updated every 30 seconds or so. Works well for us.
Thanks,

Thanks for that
I'd like to catch up here if I may - what's rproxy? I gather it's a
patch to enhance Squid 2.5's reverse proxy capabilities, but where is
it, what does it do, etc? How cool is it? ;)
I couldn't find it on the Wiki or the Squid-2.5 Patches page, and
most stuff on Google is spread over pretty old posts to this list.
Out of interested - is the Wiki maintained much? I see a couple of
mods by Henrik in Feb this year, but not a lot else. I'd be willing
to do a bit of work on the wiki - I think they're really great for
documentation etc. but only if they're up to date, and therefore
become The Place To Go.
Cheers
